Review: "Bee Pollen" Harlan

Harlan’s new single “Bee Pollen” was released today and has made a pledge to support the Black Lives Matter Movement. The proceeds from streaming the single will be donated entirely to Just City Memphis, an organization that raises money for community bail funds and helps previously incarcerated people expunge their criminal record. Harlan has also committed to donating all of the profits from her self-titled album to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) from here on out. Be sure to stream “Bee Pollen” and Harlan available now on all streaming platforms and to continue finding ways to support the Black Lives Matter Movement and Black creatives during this time.
